Chamber Passed·5/7/25

Establishes the Uniform Premarital and Marital Agreements Act in Michigan.

The Uniform Premarital and Marital Agreements Act establishes rules for premarital and marital agreements in Michigan. It defines terms such as "premarital agreement," "marital agreement," and "marital dissolution." The act ensures that agreements are in writing and signed by both parties, and it outlines conditions under which such agreements may be unenforceable, such as if they adversely affect a child's right to support or if they were made under duress. The act also specifies that certain terms regarding custodial responsibility are not binding on the court.
